Electro-Harmonix (EHX), the legendary effects pedal company, has unveiled the LPB-3 Linear Power Booster & EQ, a modern update to its very first effect, the LPB-1.
LPB-3 Linear Power Booster & EQ – A Blast from the Past with Modern Twists
The original LPB-1, discovered by EHX founder Mike Matthews in the 1960s, played a pivotal role in creating the iconic Big Muff Pi fuzz pedal.
This new iteration, the LPB-3, retains the core functionality of the LPB-1 – a clean boost—but adds many new features for greater tonal control and versatility.
Supercharge Your Signal
The LPB-3 boasts an impressive +33dB of clean boost, allowing you to push your amp for heavier distortion or simply increase your overall volume for solos and leads. The powerful 3-band EQ with a parametric midrange control lets you precisely sculpt your tone, while the pre-gain knob offers additional fine-tuning of the boost level.
Compact and Flexible
Housed in EHX’s Nano-sized chassis, the LPB-3 is pedalboard-friendly and easy to transport. It features selectable buffered or true bypass switching to integrate with your existing rig seamlessly. Additionally, the LPB-3 boasts extended 30V internal power rails for increased headroom, ensuring a clean and clear boost even at high-gain settings.
